This man is just amazing! He is a fabulous consultant and really listens. I had a bowel resection due to Colon cancer in 2019 and 2 follow up colonoscopies performed by Mr Farqueson. He is such a calm man and really I wouldn't want to be under anyone else care.

Having been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, I was put under the care of Mr Farquarson. I do not have enough words to praise this man. Not just for his amazing surgical skills. ( My bowel resection was going to be challenging). He is a genuinely caring man who made a very traumatic and worrying time so much more easy to cope with. He has a very caring manner and I will be eternally grateful to him. Due to his expertise I am now clear of cancer. Thank you is just not enough to express how I feel.

I can’t speak too highly enough of the Colorectal team at Shrewsbury Hospital. I was referred to Mr Farquharson in the second week of December last year when a CT scan showed a possible tumour in my ascending colon. Following an external examination Mr Farquharson confirmed that it was a cancer and arranged for a Colonoscopy and a further CT scan of my chest to see if the cancer had spread. Both of these were carried out before Christmas and showed that the cancer was limited to the colon. Mr Farquharson carried out this operation the last week of January this year and so I can only praise the speed and efficiency between diagnosis and surgery. After the operation I was in the recovery ward with the Shrewsbury Colorectal team of nurses. The staff were amazing and the care received second to none. Some of the care can obviously be quite personal but their positive attitude and sense of humour always shone through. It must be one of the few places where people are happy to hear that you have broken wind! All this was during the peak of the Covid pandemic. I am well on the road to recovery now so a huge thank you again to Mr Farquharson and all his team. Best regards Steve Taylor
